A Snowy Thanksgiving

Published: Nov 28, 2015 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

The snow started falling on Wednesday evening. The kids looked worriedly out the window, afraid the storm would prevent our friends from driving up for Thanksgiving. The snow continued through the night and most of the day Thursday, but our friends bravely ventured out and made it in time for lunch! We were so happy to host a large gathering this year. Our house has a huge dining room in it so we seated everyone with ease. (23 people)

This morning it was snowing again, lightly, softly - and I laced up my Whites, zipped my parka, and headed out with camera in hand. I love catching ranch life during a snowstorm. There's so much 'feel' to it!

Although their thick winter coats keep them toasty, don't worry! God designed them in a very special way to insulate them and protect them. A Snowy Thanksgiving A Snowy Thanksgiving The cattle were enjoying some hay, unmindful of the snow piling up on their backs. That's a good thing, by the way, when the snow piles up on their backs. It means they are not losing body heat. The hair and hide do such  good job of insulting them, that the snow doesn't even melt! God is an amazing Designer, and you can rest assured knowing His plan is perfect. A Snowy Thanksgiving A Snowy Thanksgiving A Snowy ThanksgivingI hope your Thanksgiving was pleasant, and your days warm!

Stay faithful, my friend.
